Helen (Louise Brealey) is in her late 30s and spends her nights packing chickens and her days caring for dying mother-figure Gwen (Sorcha Cusack). She lives in a small room in the house her clingy ex-husband (Celyn Jones) shares with his dim-witted girlfriend (Emily Fairn) and their new baby. Helen’s world takes an unexpected turn with the return of Joanne (Annabel Scholey), an object of unspoken teenage passion twenty years before. One night, encouraged by Helen, Joanne starts a playful wooing game that re-awakens their youthful feelings and gives Helen a renewed zest for life.

Blending magical realism with comedy and musical numbers, Chuck Chuck Baby will have you crying, laughing, singing, and crying a little bit more.

"Absolutely enchanting...Louise Brealey is on the top of her game." - Mark Kermode
